All those who miss the gory days of the Italian giallo films from the 1970s are in for a treat on Friday, October 29 when Olive Films begins its theatrical release of Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani’s new thriller AMER, opening at New York City’s Cinema Village (22 East 12th Street, off University Place) and West Hollywood’s Laemmle’s Sunset 5 (8000 Sunset Boulevard). In part one (below the jump) of our interviews, the filmmakers discuss the plot of AMER with Fango’s Tony Timpone and how the classic films of Dario Argento and Mario Bava inspired their work. 

One movie whose title speaks for itself is writer/director Israel Luna’s TICKED-OFF TRANNIES WITH KNIVES, a gory grindhouse throwback currently playing New York City’s Cinema Village (22 East 12th Street, off University Place) and slicing through West Hollywood’s Laemmle’s Sunset 5 (8000 Sunset Boulevard) this coming Friday. A Tribeca Film Festival world premiere, the Breaking Glass Picture www.BreakingGlassPictures.com release follows a group of transgender women who exact bloody revenge on the sleazy rednecks who viciously attack them. In part two of our interview (below the jump; part one ran here) with the Texas-born Luna, the filmmaker tells Fango’s Tony Timpone about the making of his movie and recapturing a vintage exploitation aesthetic.

The new Lionsgate DVD release NEIGHBOR (see our review here) provides busy genre actress America Olivo quite a torturous, murderous showcase. She recently chatted on camera exclusively with Fango about the movie, and you can see the video after the jump.
